Osaka Sushi Bar

Osaka Sushi Bar in Stoney Run Shopping Center in Newport News was a nice surprise.  My husband and I went on a week night and they weren’t busy at all.  It was just us and one more couple.  The atmosphere was nice thought not overly Asian themed.  They don’t have an overwhelming selection of vegetarian options but I like how they label their rolls as “c” for cooked, “u” for uncooked, and “v” for veggie.  Be sure to not confuse the U’s for V’s.  The best veggie roll that I’ve tried there is the cucumber avocado roll.  It had roasted sesame seeds around the rice that really added to the flavor.  It was delicious!  The service was quick and friendly and the price was just right ($3.50 for the cucumber/avocado roll).  I will definitely go back.

We went to Kotobuki Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar on a Sunday night and they were not busy at all.  We walked in and were greeted and sat down right away.   The atmosphere is Asian/Modern.  After ordering our drinks, we were ready to order right away.  They have an extensive vegetarian menu for a Japanese restaurant.  To name a few:  Vegetarian Shrimp Tempura, Vegetarian Salmon Roll, Vegetarian Lobster Roll, Vegetarian Ham, and Vegetarian Chicken Teriyaki.  Click here to read more »
